A problem for researchers testing the new-generation cancer drugs: too few patients

This is the 50th anniversary of John Holt’s pioneering book How Children Learn. Holt became the godfather of the homeschooling movement when it was still dangerous for families to take education into their own hands. A new edition of his book is now available — and homeschoolers remain the enemies of coerced schooling.

Married at 98 and 94, they met a few years back at the gym where they still do their workouts.

A problem for researchers testing the new-generation cancer drugs: too few patients

My wife’s oncologist had her try Nivolumab. Opdivo is the commercial name for it and there’s been commercials on TV about it. It’s immunotherapy that uses the body’s own immune system to help fight cancer and it doesn’t have the nasty side-effects that chemotherapy has. It worked for a while, but then the cancer started growing and spreading, so her oncologist got her back on chemo. Immunotherapy has shown a lot of promise though and is the future in cancer treatment.

There are two things my dog has never smelled like; lavender and oatmeal!

Front Sight certificates!

I’m not soliciting donations right now.

I'll be having a big fundraiser sometime in 2018. THEN I'll solicit donations like mad for a few weeks.

But a friend asked for these donation options. And should you just happen to be one of those wild-n-crazy generous people, far be it from me to discourage your wild-n-craziness.

First, you can PayPal.me That link lets you donate without me paying any fees. If you pay from your own PayPal balance or linked bank account, you won't pay any fees either. There's a small fee for paying via credit card. You DON'T have to have a PayPal account to use my PayPal.me link, but you will need to allow JavaScript if you surf with scripts turned off.

Then, a way to donate Bitcoin.
